Ted, A blank display is quite unusual. Does "Elecraft" display when the K2 is powered on? First check the DC voltage at the anodes of D6 and D7. In receive D6 should be near 8 volts while D7 anode should be near zero volts. If there is voltage at the anode of D7, the K2 is going into

I haven't verified this, but one thing you might try is to turn PA MODE to OFF on the KX3. You'll then need to turn on/off the KXPA100 manually since the KX3 will no longer be pinging the KXPA100. This should eliminate the cursor/marker lag on the PX3. Kindly, Paul -- View this message

Thanks for your comments, Don. When you test K2's, can I assume you have the signal generator connected directly to the K2 (or through an attenuator) with no antenna connected? Normally, one might hope that a preamp would provide some improvement in receiver noise figure (and hence MDS,
